rick perry, the governor in texas, is the leader in 2007. texas has saved two billion dollars. they've closed three prisons. and they have the lowest prime rate they've had in over 20 years. and i think it's because of an intelligent distinction between dangerous violent criminals and people who are nonviolent. >> so you're praising what the attorney general has done -- >> it's the right direction. >> bill, what do you say? >> i think there's good news and bad news in what the attorney general has done. part of the bad news is that the attorney general conflates nonviolent crime with nonharmful crime. a great deal of drug dealing and drug consumption, while nonviolent, is very harmful. when a heroin addict is putting the drug in his arm, it's not violent, but it's harmful and can be lethal. same thing with other dangerous drugs like pcp and methamphetamine. so i think that part of the attorney general's view of things is shortsighted. >> let's let newt respond to that. >> let's draw a distinction. there are a number of crime where is you want rehabilitation. a number of crime w

and wounded governor connally were fired from the sixth floor window at the southeast corner of the texas school book depository. the shots which killed president kennedy and wounded governor connally were fired by lee harvey oswald. tell me about your theory. >> that's correct. my book was based on the investigation by baltimore gunsmith and firearms expert who spent 25 years looking at the evidence from the assassination. initially he set out to initially verify the conclusions, but pretty quickly some anomalies developed with respect to the head shot from a ballistic and forensic standpoint. and based on those discrepancies, it was clear to him that there was no possible way that lee harvey oswald could have fired the shot that struck kennedy in the head. so, as a result, he began to try to determine where that bullet might have come from and ultimately concluded that the only logical explanation was an accidental discharge from an ar-15 rifle handled by a secret service agent in the vehicle immediately behind the presidential limousine. >> another theory isn't new, it's been around fo

the big question when it comes to stars like the texas rangers nelson cruz. when it comes to the detroit tigers, jhonny peralta. are they going to accept that suspension and take it now and if a guy like nelson cruz does that, then he would be able to rejoin his team by the time the playoff starts. the trick there, is the team going to make the playoffs without one of its big stars. if he decides, instead, to fight the suspension and as we said, these guys can play during their appeal, he can help his team during that time, but depending on how the timing works out with that appeal, hey, maybe that suspension kicks in instead right during the postseason. we have to wait and see how these guys decide to handle it. we know how a-rod is going to handle it. he said he will fight everything tooth and nail. >> so interesting to see how this affects the race for the pen pe p peninate. i know you have a question for my next guest here. how did major league baseball and a-rod get to this point? let's go back to january when the "miami news times" broke the story. cnn'
